Hi everyone,
I bought my last gaming PC on this website 4 years ago and these are the main specs:
I was wondering if it was time for me to change my computer? I'm mainly asking because i'm not sure how much i would benefit from an update in GPU? i know there are more performing cards out there but i don't really see anything that would justify it..... i might be wrong though. To put things in perspective my previous PC had a Geforce 570 and i REALLY felt the difference when i started using this computer with a geforce 1070.
I normally use my pc mainly to play (at 1440p) or watch films. I am not interested in overclocking or dual GPUs settings, nor i play the latest/most demanding games (currently playing Final fantasy 14 and divinity original sin 2).
I was also considering perhaps getting a new monitor instead of changing my desktop. I wanted to go for a 1440p resolution again but with 144hz and widescreen. I wonder if this solution will "upgrade" my experience enough to last me another couple of years?
What do you guys think?
Thanks for your suggestions.
